    Simulation Modelling for Events

    Having got pissed last night at a dinner party with someone senior for a major events company, they mentioned that they had trouble predicting sales/ROI on their events. In addition, they mentioned they had problems on capacity/health & safety.

    I then sketched out a model including simulation modelling of the whole event, including stage times, toilet locations, food etc. It look pretty bloody amazing on a piece of A4!!!

    Just had a call saying that she's told the board she knows an expert who can help and they've asked me to come up with a pitch next month.

    Can anyone recommend any software???

    Before or after you got pissed?

        No, but you could open your pitch with the story of Boids: Boids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                I care. When he crashed and burns I hope he moans on here so we can have a good laugh at him.

                  Anyway you shouldn't belittle MF - He is a real entrepreneur.... a risk taker... the country needs more people like him.

                  He is prepared to give any/everything a go. Good luck to him I say!!
